FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – The Broward Sheriff’s Office warned Thursday that a “courthouse phone scam” has resurfaced.
“Bad guys” are pretending to be BSO deputies and they are using tech to pretend to be calling from a Broward County courthouse phone number.

In two cases last week, the scammers told the victims that they had missed a court date and needed to send money through an online application to avoid a warrant for their arrest.
Deputies asked the public to “immediately hang up and contact law enforcement” or Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477.
